I'm told Gents' washrooms in many countries have condom dispensing machines. I've yet to see one in a Ladies' room in the countries I've been to. Why might that be in today's gender-equality world?

There were condom dispensing machines in gents toilets inthe UK when I was growing up back in the 1960s

Ever thing usually boils down to money so maybe the companies that own the condom machines figure a machine in a woman's washroom wouldn't make a profit because they figure it's traditionally the man that buys them. Cheers!

I have not inspected any ladies rest rooms, so I am not qualified to guess.

According to gossip that I have overheard, single women over age 40 or so carry a condom or two in their purse specifically because they are so hard to find when opportunity arises. The only time I ever heard a male discuss the topic was in the movie "Grease". The high school kid has a condom in his wallet, but it's broken. "How did you break it?" asks the chick. "I bought it in 7th grade" he answers glumly.

(How does that answer the question?)

*Scratches head.

Some older bar bathrooms have fancy dispencers for such things.

Do you remember the powdered soap they had in the bathrooms?

Lol! Yeah!

Because condom vending machine owners figure women are smart enough to a) prepare in advance, and b) not buy prophylactics in restrooms (where you can be sure that some sadistic nimrod poked holes in same before loading them in the machine). Their absence is actually a complement.  :-)

I've been to London a couple of times. I don't recall seeing any. Not that I was looking for them in the first place.

On the contrary, a sensible, responsible, sexually active woman would be more likely to buy them in her own interest. Many men would rather not use them at all.

I agree many single women do carry one or two "just in case". And if she has just used the one she had, she would need to replenish. I would feel quite embarrassed to buy one at the chemist even from a woman attendant. Getting one from a dispenser would be much more discreet. 

Btw, I've been carrying one for more than two years. No occasion to use it. Must check the expiry date. LOL!

"Ironic" indeed! Well put, Lucia.

I'm not aware of this, I'm afraid. I've only seen liquid soap dispensers in the last 12 years I've been travelling.

Nimitz, that's a point that didn't strike me. You could be very right. Ours is a psycho, whacko world.

I have seen them in many ladies restrooms at gas stations in the USA. One just yesterday in fact.

I've never been to the US. Mostly countries in SE Asia, Japan, and Europe.

So now gender fairness is based on things like  rubbers? 

I have yet to be so desperate that I have to slink into the girl's washroom in a public place to grab some profalactics (sp).

I think I can control myself until I leave the establishment and buy some at a drug store or something.  I think the man should take care of that part anyway.    My job is to be on birth control and his job is to not get AIDS on anyone. 

That's just me.  I'm old-fashioned that way. 

     "Ours is a psycho, Whacko world."

On that much I think we're all in agreement--even Trump supporters! LOL!

Because the men getting condoms in a restroom think they're going to get lucky and women know they're not.

Like. Thank you. :)
